During an update my Mac turned off and will no longer boot into the user interface.

The situation is that I don't have an os disk with me - traveling abroad - and would like to be able to create one using my PC.
- First is this possible?
- Second, will I lose my personal data upon system reinstall!
As far as the boot sequence goes is the apple logo and the spinning wheel...
Just thought of this, is there a "last good bootup" option available as an option or some other way to recover without reinstalling?
The situation was that I have a bad battery and the chord was accidentally unplugged... Pretty bummed at this point... :(
Thank you in advance!

So far I have tried to use the option, and a few other keys on startup, but no-go...
I found a snow leopard install .dmg file download on the apple site, since my MacBook is from 2005, but only have a PC to create the disk image from - if that will even work at all...
Will keep updating as I move forward... Any help is appreciated!

It seems that year long delay from having your lock button repaired has finally caught up to you. Sounds like you have some damage to your phone that requires repair/replacement. Take it to a Apple store or contact Apple Tech Support.

Is it charged? If so try a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset. If it's not charged, charge it via a wall socket for a least 30 minutes then try the reset again.

Iphone 4 turned off and will not come back on

HAd 30% battery, phone just turned off and will not come back on.
how would you recommend that I try turning the phone back on, yes I have to put the power back to it and it still will not turn on?

Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

Charge with the mains charger for 15 minutes, then disconnect and hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Do as it says and restore your phone at this point there is no data on your phone. If you have a backup of your phone you can restore to that backup.

Wine, were you charging over the USB Connection or AC Power? We've found in our organization that at times not enough power is generated over USB to recharge it in situations like this...I quote from the email of a fellow technician that i just received today...
I’ve had a couple of users up here bring their iPhones to me so dead that the phone was unresponsive, no matter what we did. One thing that many people do not realize is that the iPhone (iOS devices in general) have power management in them. The power management appears to be set up so that the device will not power on at all until the battery is at a certain minimum level. If the user will plug the device into the power adapter, not a USB port on a computer (laptops especially), and leave it for about an hour, maybe longer, the device will come back to life.
The reason I say they have to use the power adapter is because the USB port is not high enough power to bring the charge up fast enough for the battery to come back out of “hibernation”.
Each time I have had the users do the power adapter plug in, and leave it for a couple of hours, the devices have come back to life
Hope this helps

Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds.
